KINGSPORT — If you work in Kingsport, Alderman John Clark wants you to consider moving to Kingsport.

And City Manager-elect Jeff Fleming said a project is afoot to encourage live-where-you-work behavior in the Model City.

"We have a lot of people who work in our city who don't live in our city," Clark said Thursday during a Board of Mayor and Aldermen work session.

Faced with financial woes that Mayor Dennis Phillips recently called the "worst year ever," the Board of Mayor and Aldermen during a work session reached an informal consensus on a 2014-15 budget plan that calls for a 4-cent property tax rate increase, a $5-per-month solid waste fee for curbside garbage pickup and slight increases in water and sewer rates.
